WordPerfect 5.0 is available for SCO Xenix, SCO Unix and about to be
released on several other environments.
It works very much like WordPerfect 5.0 on a PC. AND, will
even allow graphics to a basically non-graphics terminal such as
a Wyse 60. It will do a page preview using the graphics mode
of the terminal. Really slick looking.
You appear to have a graphics terminal. It is not particually quick
in the graphics mode (which you would expect) depending on your
line speed.
Hope this helps.
